Cephalexin was first synthesized in 1967 by Glaxo Research Laboratories and first produced on an industrial scale by Eli Lilly & Co. in the same year. It is a deacetoxylated derivative of cephaloglycin that is not metabolized in vivo. When administered orally, it shows a much higher serum concentration and much lower tendency to induce diarrhea than cephaloglycin. Cephalexin has been used widely and is the most popular orally active antibiotic in the world for treatment of respiratory tract, urinary tract, surgical, ear and nose, and other infections caused by Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Proteus.
